In December 2014 President Obama ordered the restoration of full democratic relations with Cuba. The order lifted a 54 year old trade embargo and eased restrictions on banking and American’s travel to the country. Proponents of relations with Cuba argue that U.S. influence through tourism and trade will promote capitalism and weaken its communist regime. Opponents argue that trade and diplomatic relations will only strengthen the communist regime’s grip on the Cuban government.
Lift all sanctions, embargo’s, etc. and work to adopt a system like Cuba’s and closer ties with Cuba itself.
No. Not until the Castro family and their allies are removed from power, and the Cuban people are free to elect their own leadership.
No, topple the Communist Regime and offer Cuba statehood.
no i do not president obama
Yes. Despite the negative influence communism has had on Cuba, the U.S. embargo has had an arguably worse effect on the nation.
No trade is bad for the country
No, Until the Communist Regime in Cuba Collapses
That is because Obama is stupid. Cuba did their own thing and wanted to be on their own. Let them suffer and fail until they realize they need us and decide to become part of the USA as a state. In turn, we can enforce the same laws and so forth over there as here and build a base there.
Yes, and pay restitution.
Yes, and it should have been done years ago. We should have had a McDonalds in Havana the day after the Russians cut off foreign aid to them. There is no argument for not doing so...if we can overlook the human rights violations of China, our largest trading partner, we can do so with Cuba. Cuba represents a new market for American products and services, which is good for our economy. Further isolationism will gain nothing (how's that working out with North Korea?).
No, this will allow the U.S. to exploit Cuban farmers and workers.
Yes, we should stay out of it. People should have a choice
The only people suffering with an embargo are innocent citizens. Time to let this go like we did with Japan & Germany
I think we should have begun having talks with Cuban leaders to come to a political and economic compromise. This could lead to better relations and trade embargo lifting.
We should be politically allied with Cuba and the Communist Party
Yes, lifting the embargo would boost our economy, and serve to support free travel between the two nations.
@ISIDEWITHLow quality answer7yrs
Yes the economy would improve.
Yes, the domino effect that was touted in the 50's for communism has proven to be a farce. We have dealings with countries with dictators who have been added to humanitarian watch lists for the things they do to their own citizens. Bring on the cigars and classic cars.
Yes, trade with Cuba makes them less likely to side with our enemies.
Yes. The people of Cuba have suffered for so long due to no fault of their own. We need to show them we have interest in them, and their struggles.
No, do not do business with Communist nations
Yes, money makes the world go round
Only if they bring cigars
Yes, but high tariffs should remain.
I don't have an opinion on something i know nothing about.
Travel but not trade and we should set up settlements in third world countries
YES I'm MARIO AND COMMUNISM AND HAVANA NIGHTLIFE WILL SUPPORT MY TRADES!
Yes, as long as Cuba is not putting inhumane restrictions on their citizens.
@9T5JVR8Constitution10mos
We should treat all communist regimes the same.
I believe we should keep the trade open. Keep it fair for every country and do not cheat them out of money or goods
No, it depends on whether the cargo is legal or not.
Yes, so people can buy things they need like clothe, perfume , shoes, collogne, sunglasses etc.while on vacation. However, there should also be an age limit required for Americans to buy rum and cigars.
No, and trail an army of Cubans, Hattians, and Nicaraguans to overthrow the Cuban gov't with support of the US Marines and Air Force.
Yes and stop attempting to crush all socialist governments out of imperialism and greed.
Yes, but he should have removed the embargo in its entirety.
Yes, but in exchange Cuba should compensate those who they seized assets from under Castro.
Lift neither until Cuba becomes a democratic republic.
Yes, I want my god damned cigars.
No opinion. I am not educated well enough on the topic to form an opinion.
Not informed enough on this topic to make a decision.
Yes, we should be working towards rehabilitating the country's economy and democracy rather than containing to destabilize it.
Yes in terms of travel and trade only. Not banking/business practices.
No, we shouldn't lift the embargoes until Cuba takes steps towards creating a more equal and representative environment for its citizens.
Don't have much of an opinion on this one.
Only have limited trade until they become not a communist
